Arsenal looked set for defeat at the Allianz Arena until Declan Rice struck eight minutes from time to secure a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich, ending their 14-match winning run in the Champions League league phase while keeping their unbeaten record intact.

Arsenal were a goal down at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night, and Declan Rice dragged them back.

Declan’s strike eight minutes before made it 2-2 against Bayern Munich in a match with plenty going on.

The night started badly for the Gunners with Bukayo Saka pulled up after ten minutes and had to come off.

Saka’s replacement, Eberechi Eze, made an instant difference as Martin Ødegaard slipped him a pass in the 25th minute and Eze put Arsenal ahead.

Bayern didn’t take long to answer England’s Harry Kane threaded a ball through for Alphonso Davies, who beat David Raya to make it 1-1 just before the break.

Kane’s shot hit Jurriën Timber’s arm, and he stepped up to score the penalty himself.

It was another landmark for Kane as only Cristiano Ronaldo has previously scored in ten Champions League games in a row.

For a while it looked like Bayern might build on that, but Arsenal had other ideas. They calmed things down, got hold of the ball again and kept pushing.

The reward came in the 82nd minute, when substitute Viktor Gyökeres set up Rice, who drove a low finish past Manuel Neuer.

It was Rice’s first goal this season and his first away from home in this competition.

Both keepers had to make saves in the closing minutes, but neither team found a winner.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta couldn’t hide his enthusiasm afterwards. “Wow, what a game,” he told TNT Sports.

He was especially pleased that his players went after Bayern rather than sitting back, and praised their personality and courage.

Vincent Kompany, head coach of Bayern Munich, back on the touchline after being ill earlier in the week, said it took a bit of our momentum.

He also admitted Arsenal had spells where they were the better team.

“The only real downer for Arsenal was Saka,” Arteta said, adding that the injury is muscular and the medical staff are concerned, so he could be missing matches for a few weeks.

The draw ended a run of 14 straight wins for Arsenal in the Champions League league phase.

They’re still unbeaten, though, with seven points from three games and seventh place in the table.

Bayern are 14th on five points, with their next game away at Atlético Madrid on 3 November.
